NOT FOR SALE: Wolfsburg want to keep De Bruyne

“We’re not a selling club and we don’t need the money”

Klaus Allofs

“We’re in a project at Wolfsburg to compete one day with Bayern Munich and we are in need of these types of players.

“On the other hand we have to handle it seriously, we’ve have to respect the interest in the player, but the player also has to respect the interests of the club.

“But we don’t need the money and we haven’t received a single bid from anyone.

“Everybody loves Kevin in Wolfsburg and Germany – it’s not all about money.”
